[agent\_craft] Summarizing error logs loses the root cause signal

Lead with the exact error string and failure state, then provide context, then attempted remediation. Quote the exact error rather than paraphrasing.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to write narrative summaries \('I tried to do X but it failed because Y'\). Humans scanning logs need the exact error first to index against their mental models. Paraphrasing an error obscures the searchability of the exact string. The inverted pyramid structure \(most critical info first\) minimizes time-to-comprehension.
